Additional information
| Description | 2-Bromobenzonitrile is an organic compound with the molecular formula C6H5BrN. It serves as a precursor to quinazolinones, a class of drugs employed in treating autoimmune diseases and coronary heart disease. In a palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction, this substrate molecule forms an aromatic ring, accompanied by observable light emission in the reaction solution. Furthermore, 2-bromobenzonitrile reacts with anhydrous sodium to produce nitrobenzene and hydrogen gas, which are subsequently treated with hydrochloric acid to yield a salt and water vapor. The nitrogen atoms in 2-bromobenzonitrile also participate in reactions with halides like bromine or chlorine, resulting in alkyl bromides or chlorides. Additionally, this compound finds application in Suzuki coupling reactions. |
